Traveling through the 80s, I picked up an actor

Chapter 10 Going through the back door

Before Jiang Li could finish her words, Li Mubai stepped on the accelerator and the car sped away!

Jiang Li quickly grabbed the handrail on the roof and felt her whole heart floating.

"Why are you driving so fast?"

Li Mubai didn't care about her. He just looked serious, glancing at the rearview mirror from time to time, and only stepped on the accelerator.

Jiang Li felt that the whole atmosphere in the car became tense.

"What's wrong?"

Li Mubai said in a low voice: "Someone is following us!"

"Someone is following you? Who? Did you offend the gang or the police?"

Jiang Li nervously looked at the rearview mirror and found that there was indeed a white van following her.

Jiang Li has watched many Hong Kong police and gangster films. In her opinion, both gangsters and police are not easy to mess with.

It’s over, it’s over, something big has happened!

Li Mubai then realized that he was so serious just now that he seemed to have scared Jiang Li.

He chuckled and comforted her, "Don't be nervous, it's...it's the paparazzi!"

Ah! It’s the paparazzi!

Jiang Li had a false alarm and calmed down.

Jiang Li had also heard of the reputation of the Hong Kong paparazzi. Even in 2023, the business capabilities of the Hong Kong paparazzi were still far ahead across the country and even the world.

I really can't afford to offend you, but I can't afford to hide from you either.

However, as long as it wasn't some evil force pointing guns at her, Jiang Li felt that it was acceptable.

She calmed down and sat down, trying not to disturb Li Mubai.

Li Mubai stepped on the accelerator very quickly, and the car weaved in and out of the traffic. But although he drove very fast, he was not panicking at all. On the contrary, he was very calm. He kept thinking about the route in his mind. After turning countless intersections, Li Mubai began to slow down. He even turned around and chuckled to Jiang Li: "Get rid of it!"

Jiang Li almost gave him a "GIVE ME FIVE", but thinking that he was driving after all, she finally just gave him two thumbs up and praised him sincerely: "You are awesome!"

After returning home, Jiang Li prepared a big meal for Li Mubai to show her gratitude.

Jiang Li was in a very good mood that day. She hummed a tune while cooking, washing dishes, and even while taking a bath at night. Li Mubai, who had just passed by the bathroom door by chance, heard a faint singing coming from the bathroom and once again could not help but stop.

He listened to Jiang Li singing several times today, and each time he had a new understanding of the song.

When cooking, she sang: "Pick up the small pot, pick up the small spatula, mom and dad are busy, I will cook..."

While washing dishes, she sang: "Swipe, scrub, scrub, scrub, oh oh~"

Now when she takes a bath, she sings again: "I love taking a bath and my skin feels good, oh oh oh oh, I put on a shower cap and sing and dance, oh oh oh oh, mermaid, I want to run away..."

Li Mubai had never heard of the songs sung by Jiang Li. He thought they were very special and cheerful. Jiang Li's voice was very clear and the songs were very nice to listen to. It was just that the words were a little difficult to understand. Li Mubai had to eavesdrop for a long time before he could understand them. As he listened, he couldn't help laughing. It seemed like he had met a very interesting girl.

Jiang Li was immersed in the joy of finding a job and had no idea that her hard days were about to begin...

Li Mubai introduced Jiang Li to a job as a field assistant. Jiang Li knew that the field assistant's job was very busy and she had to run around frequently, so she wore jeans during the interview and tied her hair into a high ponytail. The little field assistant didn't dare to steal the show, so she didn't put on any makeup (actually because she didn't have money to buy cosmetics, haha), and went out with her bare face, but fortunately, her skin was fair and rosy, and even without lipstick, her lips were light pink, which made her look very energetic.

It’s true that the simpler the outfit, the more it suits her. She has a clean and delicate appearance, and the simpler it is, the cleaner and more youthful she looks.

She looks very friendly and lovely, especially when she smiles, she shows two dimples and has curved eyebrows and eyes. She looks like a little girl next door, so cute that people want to pinch her.

Li Mubai took Jiang Li to meet the director, and they chose to go after the filming was over so as to avoid the crowds. When they arrived at the director's office, the director was discussing the plot with the assistant director. When he saw Li Mubai bringing people over, the assistant director hurried forward to greet them, serving tea and pouring water, very enthusiastic.

This skinny assistant director Jiang Li is not familiar with him, but the fat director Jiang Li sitting on the big chair has been seen many times. His name is still well-known. It can be said that he is an outstanding representative of the Chinese film industry. He has a pivotal position in Hong Kong and even in the entire Chinese film director group. In the list of the most influential directors in Hong Kong, this director can definitely be ranked in the top five. However, at this moment, he is just a director who has just emerged. Although he has made some good movies, he has just started. He has some say, but not much, and he is still a long way from his peak.

The director seemed to be very familiar with Li Mubai, and did not exchange false politeness with them. When he met Jiang Li, he only asked a few simple questions. After all, she was brought here by Li Mubai, so he had to bite the bullet and use her regardless of whether she was useful or not. So he briefly introduced her to the job and asked the assistant director to take her to sign the contract.

Perhaps because he knew that she was brought by Li Mubai, the assistant director was quite polite to her. Jiang Li had heard that theaters in Hong Kong at that time treated their staff quite harshly, sometimes scolding them, sometimes beating and scolding them, and sometimes insulting them personally. Jiang Li also saw the assistant director yelling at other staff members later. In comparison, she was considered quite "respected".

On the other side, in the director's office, Li Mubai was leisurely drinking tea with the director.

Director Hao Zhen smoked the good cigarettes that Li Mubai brought him, and said with a smile on his face: "This is the first time I see you looking for someone to do something for me. I am really terrified."

"Really? You don't look terrified, but rather a little proud!"

Hao Zhen laughed out loud: "You figured this out. I can't help it. Li Mubai asked me to do something for him, so I have to be proud of it."

Li Mubai, who was asking for help, said calmly: "It's up to you whether you are happy or not. Anyway, I have given the person to you, so you have to take good care of him."

Hao Zhen narrowed his eyes: "This girl looks unfamiliar, who is she to you?"

Li Mubai picked up a cup of tea, took a sip, and then said slowly, "One of us."

There are many ways to interpret it among our own people. For Hao Zhen, he automatically interpreted it as his girlfriend.

Hao Zhen didn't understand: "Since she is one of us, why don't you help her get in touch with someone to let her act? Why do you have to let her come here to do odd jobs?"

In Hao Zhen's opinion, Jiang Li is very talented, she speaks eloquently and is good-looking. She has a unique temperament, which is trendy but not sharp, cute and friendly. When she smiles, her eyebrows are curved and she is very contagious. Such actors are very scarce in the circle nowadays. Since she has the potential, why should she be a miserable stagehand?

Li Mubai said leisurely: "Being an actor is too high-profile and not suitable for her."

Hao Zhen guessed that Li Mubai might want to protect her. After all, the water in this circle is too deep, and being an actor is not as glamorous as it seems.

But after thinking about it, he asked again: "Since you are the on-site servant, why don't you bring her to your side?"

Li Mubai said quietly, "The workload of the crew I'm on right now is too heavy, and I'm afraid of tiring her out."

Hao Zhen: ...

What do you mean?

Are you mocking his crew for not having enough fame and work?!

Can he flip the table?

Can he swear?

Can he see the guests off?

But when he looked at Li Mubai's angelic face, he didn't dare to say a word in the end. He could only silently pick up the teacup and take a big sip to calm himself down.

You can't be mean to yourself but you can't be mean to Li Mubai!

He is not famous and has lived a short life. He deserves it!
